About this Recipe
This Oreo Cookie is buttery, chewy, crispy and full of chunks of Oreos in addition to a heaping helping of Oreo crumbs. You’ve never had a cookie like it and there’s almost even odds it will be your new favorite cookie. Add this to your Christmas Cookie Exchange Plate, it will be a crowd favorite!
Chef’s Note – Origin of Cookie
This Oreo Chunk Cookie recipe was inspired by the local favorite Washington D.C. restaurant Wisemiller’s Deli, which has been selling a similar cookie for decades. This cookie has earned a cult following along with the equally famous Chicken Madness Sub Sandwich.
Baking Tips & Tricks
- Making Aesthetically Pleasing Cookies: If you stir all the Oreos into the dough, they’ll be hidden inside the cookie. Your cookies will still be delicious, but not as pretty. If you want your cookies to look like the pictures in this post you can instead add ⅓ of the chunks to your batter, then roll the cookies in the remaining chunks.
- After making the dough, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to an hour so it’s easier to roll into dough balls. Put the remaining Oreo chunks in a large bowl and roll them on the outside of the cookie dough balls. This slightly different technique makes the cookies so gorgeous. Rolling the dough balls in Oreos ensures they’re throughout and outside the cookie, which makes them look and taste bakery worthy.
How to Store
- Serve: Keep Oreo Chunk Cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Store: You can store your cookies longer in the fridge for up to a week. To get your cookies chewy again, pop in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
- Freeze: Freeze your cookie dough or baked cookies for up to 2 months in an airtight container. Freeze cookie dough on a baking sheet for an hour before transferring to a freezer bag.
Ideas to Serve
These cookies are also perfect for dunking in milk or serving with vanilla ice cream and chocolate ganache for a delicious sundae. Even better, make these into ice cream sandwiches, they’re the perfect base for the ultimate summer dessert.
Frequent Questions
Allow the butter to soften at room temperature before mixing. If the butter is too cold, it won’t cream and form air pockets. Air pockets make your cookies light and fluffy.
If you want the cookies to be perfectly chewy, bake them until the edges are set and slightly browned.
To keep these cookies moist, make sure you store them in a closed container. Add a slice of bread to the container to maintain moisture control.
Microwave the cookies for 10-15 seconds before enjoying to bring back a bit of fresh out of the oven flavor.
Variations
- Chocolate Chips: Add semisweet or milk chocolate chips to your batter to have an even richer cookie.
- Baking Chips: Give your cookies bursts of flavor with white chocolate chips, mint chips (great for the holidays!), or salted caramel chips.
- Melted Chocolate: Dip the cookies halfway in melted chocolate or dip the bottom half of the cookie in chocolate. Microwave either white chocolate chips/white chocolate candy bark or dark chocolate chips in a glass bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Nuts: Stir in some chopped peanuts, or your favorite nuts, to give the cookies some extra crunch!
- Flavored Oreos: Swap out the classic Oreos for your favorite special flavor of Oreo like birthday cake, mint, red velvet, or white Oreos.

Can the recipe use egg replacer instead of eggs
I have not tested the recipe with an egg replacement so I cannot give specific advice on this, but it should work out just fine if you follow package directions for substituting. Please let us know how this works out for you!
